Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residences in respect of light, outlook and privacy
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers in terms of privacy

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers, contrary to development plan policies, outweighed the limited benefits of the scheme.

the benefits of housing contribution, energy efficiency, effective land use and renewable energy measures were of insufficient weight to justify a decision other than in accordance with the development plan, which the proposal harmed
